here is my version of Tarful. I was really unhappy with Hasro's version for some reason? Ah well... I still need to paint this but feel that it is close to completion. Let me know what you think, or don't...but enjoy the pics at least.Jay

Nice idea. I don't think that using the Tarfful torso is worth that extra 1/2" of height that you're getting there, he's a little too tall and skinny. That extra piece of torso between the bottom of the waist belt, but above the hips, is kinda throwing this figure off.

I recommend putting the Tarfful head on the Preview Wookiee body and then either painting or sculpting on the armor.

Chewiethe arms are easily removed (boil/pop), they are both plugged into the body sockets. The preview wookiee's plug was a little smaller then tarfuls so I use a technique with crazy glue to make the joint tight. I apply glue inside the body socket and continue to mave the arm slowly so that glue will not set to the peg but will still form around it. ( I have used thes technique for years on different customs and have never had the parts fuze together, as long as you are continuously moving them)

The paint job was from a previous snoova custom I made last year..

I wanted to use the tarful torso as I am not much of a sculptor. I wanted to have tarful extra tall and the way it is, was much easier then shorting it (you have to see the mess that tarfuls torso has inside for its action features)

Hot damn, Tarfful looks awesome with your new paint job... definitely a figure that Hasbro owes us an upgrade on. I like how tall he is, man he looks tough. And I appreciate the information on the shoulder/arm swap.

Thanks for your comments guys, nice to get both critisisms and positive feedback! I think that the height is a smidge too tall as well but if I tried to make him a bit shorter I could have messed up the entire custom.

Parts used were only a preview wookiee and a tarful... The head and torso are tarfuls, the rest is the preview wookiee. Tarfuls insides (guts) are a mess and have to be removed, I used a drill, dremel and pliers to get it all out.

I live on the coast and might use some shells from the beach to add some more armour to my tarful, (shells have good texture for figure armour)

1000 Time better than Habro's.I really like the height, he's like the shack of Wookies. The paint aps came out very nice. Excellent job. The Recipe seem pretty simple, I may have to give this one a try to mix up my Wookie Ranks. Now if I could just find some extra Wookies.
